Arc

Team Retribution's adjutant, an elf with a Valtay worm in his head, solid to the touch and untouchable to a blade, panicking as a cat wearing toilet paper sells a town (ch. 9, ch. 10); he watches the southern assault from the best seat (ch. 23), calls foul against his own team when the war mages teleport to Juice Box (ch. 62), and heads for the eighteenth (ch. 85).
